case 017 - i'll finish this!

I have been playing Disgaea 3. It's rather enchanting so far, even though I haven't beaten the first chapter yet. This is because I've been working on unlocking the characters. This is very tedious without the use of Item World. But the leveling up is made easier since there are two stages in the first chapter that give extra experience. THAT HELPS.

I finally unlocked the Beast Master class. I really like Beast Masters, and I think her English voice is ten times more adorable than it was in Disgaea 2. I like a lot of the voices, actually. Every time the Hell Kitten says 'Meow!' I just die. ♥ Must... unlock... Ranger...

I'm also in love with the school setting. I rearrange desks and have Mao go talk to everyone. It's a lot of fun. Almaz is the biggest dork ever. 'They stole my lunch money! ;;;' Looking forward to Princess Sapphire. I... need to make a bigger classroom...

The graphics aren't amazing, no. There are some things that look a lot smoother, or attacks are bigger, and such. But I'm slightly disappointed. I like the cartoony Disgaea style, but... I'm not sure. There is only a minor improvement. But I like the story and characters enough to ignore this, and the music is, as always, catchy. Gameplay is virtually the same, so those who have played the game before can just jump right in.

I'm looking forward to the downloadable content!

case 016 - would you like some prinnies with that?

In just a few days, Disgaea 3 hits the United States... Now that I have my very own PlayStation 3, this game seems more real. Yes. I'm excited. I went ahead and purchased the Delinquent Pride Set from Rosenqueen. I actually wanted the original Japanese soundtrack, but even if I had gotten the higher priced set (which is now sold out anyway), I might not have gotten it, since the soundtrack was given out at random. Meh. I have it on the computer, anyway!

FE11 is also here, though it's currently sitting at my friend's house (since she ordered it). I must get to her immediately! Though I'll probably flounder through that game... You need to read a lot to play FE games. Bah. Japanese is the bane of my existence. There are FAQs online, right?

Continuing my BRAWL research, I've been looking into a lot of new Nintendo games. I just finished my first Kirby game ever, Squeak Squad for the DS. It was fun and silly and just... relaxing? Once you play really hard games like FE, having a stupid platformer game where your goal is to fight bosses for CAKE is such a blessing. I liked it a lot.

Meta Knight is so cool...

I also found a rom+emulator and started playing Earthbound. Haven't gotten far in that, but it cracks me up to no end.

Ness is so cool...

More reviewing later, as I need to do things that doesn't require gaming.
